Random Zombie, Eating/Drinking Sounds.

[Shrapnel (DayZ) 13]

So ive had this issue a while now but it seems to be dependant on the number of people on the server.

 

While playing on Low population servers ( 1- 10 ) every minute or so it will play a random sound from either a zombie, or a player interaction, but only a fraction of it, never the whole sound clip.

 

On Medium Pop servers (11 - 20 ) Constant zombie sound clips being played halfway, occasionally a soda can or reload sound. Again, never the full sound clip, but enough that its recognizable.

 

High Pop servers ( 21 - 30/40 ) Constant zombie sounds, constant food/drink sounds, constant reload sounds. All played halfway.

 

 

Im wondering if these sounds are glitched somehow and are actually happening somewhere on the map and im able to hear them , or the ambient sound is broken and playing these sound clips randomly..

 

It can be extremely disorienting to be running thought the woods and hear a soda can open right next to you and you turn but nobody is there.. Its not a game breaking bug but its one that has been pissing me off since i started playing.

 

Is anyone else having this issue? Any ways to fix it?

I've gotten that since the beginning.

Scares the **** out of me. ( :

And then one time I blew eating sounds off...

Turn around and there's some dude with an M4 running past. D:

I have this issue as well. I thought the soda opening and reloading were parts of the ambient, but they've always seemed strange. And when I'm sneaking through a town and hear a zombie right next to me when there's nothing there it's pretty damn annoying.

Good to see others are having the same problem, now that its a confirmed bug, how about someone looking into solving it?

me and friends all have this problem and it scares the s**t out of us, but does spoil the experience some what when you don't know if its the bug or real

Yup. Been on a high-populated server and heard what sounds like 20 zombies half-growling. Unnerving. ;)

It's the rabbits, the rabbits I tell you! (I swear I'm not crazy, I've seen things, man...)

 

I sh*t you not. For some reason the rabbits you see in between the grass and outside houses make zombie/eating/drinking sounds.

 

Reloading noises are made when someone with a weapon joins a server, dead giveaway.

Ive also noticed the rabbits, and since you pointed this out ive confirmed that every time a sound is played there is a rabbit within 10 meters.

 

1nb4 Rocket has rabbits spying on us.

Its all the animals they have been  given the default sounds in the game till they sort out the real sounds for each animal, so thats why you here those noises most of the time when all is quite

because its the RABBITS AND RAVENS making them noises

I don't think i've heard the soda can noise, but certainly zombie groans. Literally sound like they're are behind me half the time, when your in a densely populated zombie town, pretend zombie noises are just irritating.

As for the rabbits I've hardly seen any, yet I hear the noises continuously.

This weekend a friend of mine & I heard lots of reloading sounds..
We constantly kept setting up defensive positions expecting some geared player to spawn right next to us.  but nothing.
Later we kept hearing people EATING near Barracks & other nice locations that often result in heavy PVP.

Later after i died & i was clear over on East Coast & he was at Airport next to Cherno.  we still kept hearing the same exact sounds even though we were no where near each other.

These random sounds really played a number on us.
"omfg I heard someone drink a can of soda!" "Me To!"
After the death & the long distance we were positive it was random sounds that had to of been Server Wide.
I even went so far as to leave the server & return.. Still hearing the same sounds at the same time.
